After the success of the blueberry pie Mason’s next request was an apple pie. I admire that he thinks so highly of my baking skills. It is a funny thing when he asks a question and in response to my “I do not know” he tells me “but you are a mom, you know everything.”…

A few years ago I attended a bake off held to raise money for a girls youth group. It was a yearly event many residents looked forward to as they stuffed their wallets with cash hoping to snag one of Mrs. A’s delectable delights. Lemon bars were on the block. The gavel rang at $72.00.…

My mother-n-law introduced me to the Partridge in a Pear Tree ornaments from USA pears. My Christmas tree has a Twelve Days of Christmas theme so the pear ornaments fit right in. The cost for a single ornament has been $7.50 plus a store receipt for 3 1/2 pounds of pears. Last year the price…
